i would go to different dealerships, and get a magazine that has all the manufacturers color options- then begin the process of elimination, keep us updated for sure!

Definitely not feeling the blue...

There are like a 1k other colors you could chose from.

Don't do it stock color.

Other stock colors shouldn't really cost any more than yours.

They just mix it up by paint code.

Tell them to roll your fenders or shave while they're at it... this way if you ever decide on wider wheels... you're go to go...

Getting a different color will be $,$$$... cause they have to do door jams, engine bay, inside the trunk, etc, etc,.... a whole lot of labor...

What shop are you using???

They might charge you alot to change the color and if you dont want to pay that you can always stay white but a different shade. Lexus has a shade that is real nice. Ill try and find it

Starfire pearl that lexus uses on their GS's are nice if you wanted to stay white. But other than that man change it up if you have the option.

Sorry to be off topic, did something happen to your car? Or you just felt like repainting?

PEACE!

He was rear ended/hit & run in Va by some drunk and high dude(s). The impact was so bad his rear bumper w/aspec was hanging off as he gave chase to the assholes. Cops were near by and got one of the guys.

He got a shop to repair the damage but it seems that he was not happy with the paint or body lines and he got his ins to get it repainted.
